BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia underwent various medical examinations under close supervision of her medical board at Evercare Hospital in the city`s Bashundhara area today.
Her personal physician Professor AZM Zahid Hossain said, “Madam`s treatment is going on under the supervision of her medical board led by Professor Shahabuddin Talukder.”
Khaleda was admitted to Evercare Hospital early today after she fell ill.
She last went to the same hospital on April 29 and received treatment for five days.
The BNP chief received treatment at the hospital seven times since she was infected with coronavirus in April, 2021.
Khaleda, a 77-year-old former prime minister, has been suffering from various ailments, including liver cirrhosis, arthritis, diabetes, kidney, lung, heart and eye problems.
Khaleda was sent to the Old Dhaka Central Jail as a lower court sentenced her to five years` imprisonment in the Zia Orphanage Trust corruption case on February 8, 2018. Later, she was found guilty in another corruption case the same year.
Amid the coronavirus outbreak, the government temporarily freed Khaleda Zia from jail through an executive order suspending her sentence on March 25, 2020, with conditions that she will stay in her Gulshan house and will not leave the country.
